An Expensive Necessity.
The cost of road construction
and maintenance is high, we ad
mid—abnormally high. But that
is no valid reason for letting our
I highways lose themselves in the
mud this winter.
It costs leas to fill up a few
holes, or open a ditch or two. or
drag a road now than it will to
construct practically anew one
later on.
fijGood roads are highly essential
to the future prosperity of this
j community, and nothing within
leason "should be allowed to in
j t-rfere with their proper main
tenance.
There are too many brains and
too much go-d judgment in this
commum y to permit our high-
I ways to sink int) gradual decay.

A Prayer of Thanksbivig
(Dedicated to Thanksgiving
Day.)
(By Mercer Williams.)
Oh, heavenly Father; Oh,
great God of heaven and earth
creator of all living things:
Would Thou accept our thanks
as a country and nation for the
many glorious and wonderful
blessings and contforts of li e.
Thou, oh God, art the sour e
of all true blessings, and the
! spring of all comfort. 4 hou giv
est unto us all we possess and
all our blessings come from
Thee, and so doth every true
i pleasure flow from Thee and
from Thy throne.. We feel it a
I duty, and not a pain, to oil r
to Thee a prayer of Thanksgiv
|ing for Thy protecting power
i and Thy tender mercies that
| have been so graciously extend
: ed to us during the past year.
Lord, we thank Thee for ev
| ery blessing, whether it be
j great or small, for we know all
I blessings come from Thee, and
I Thou bestowest upon us eontin
[ ually such blessings as necessi
ty demands, and even in every
condition Thou carest for us, |
both in sickness and in health,
in poverty and in death. Lord, I
we thank Thee for our health
and strength; for the vim, vig
or and vitality of our bodily
organs during the past year &
we would ask Thee to bless
and comfort all those who are
suffering from any disease
whatsoever. Restore them, we
beseech Thee, to perfect health
oh, Lord, and if it be according
to Thy will continue to reward
us with good health and pros
perity, and let joy , pleasure,
contentment and real Godly
happiness enlighten and be a
leading influence in each and
every life.
Lord, we thank Thee for Thy
tender care during all our past
life; and we fully realize that
when we could not defend our
selves Thou cared for us. Thou
carest for us in infancy, in child
hood, and even in old age. Thou
oh God, has cared for us and
supplied our needs, wants, de
sires and necessities from the
very earliest of our existence
up to the present time.
Lord, we thank Thee for Thy
tender mercies. We krow that
with us have been tender and
sympathetic, in every respect
for Thou knowest all things.
Therefore, Thou knoweth and
Thou hast not rewarded us ac
cording to our transgressions,
nor bruised us according to our
sinfulness, but Thy dealings
understandeth human weaknet.
and our ungratefulness to Thee
Yet Thy mercy is extended to
us and Thy mercy, compassion
and sympathy still abounds not
because of our goodness, but
because of Thy divine and for
giving nature.
Thy mercies are extended to
us as the mother’s are to the
children, for Thou art always
ready and willing to forgive &
pardon us from our sins, bring
us from our wanderings and re
store unto us the joys of Thy
salvation.
Lord, we thank Thee for Thy
divine aid & assistance for we
can do nothing within ourselv
es, all our help must come
from Thee, for we are prone to
leave Thee and wander from
Thy presence. All our. efforts
would be in vain and would ac
complish nothing whatever.
Our thoughts would be void &
express nothing if we should
fail to secure Thy help and do
as Thou willeth.
Lord, we thank Thee for Thy
wondrous saving grace. We ac
knowledge that when in the
paths of sin we roamed, know
ing nothing of Thee and Thy
saving power, that Thou didst
wondrously redeem our souls
from sin and its lusts and -plac
ed within us a sincere desire
for higher and nobler things,
and at the same time giving us
a hope that anchors beyond
death and the grave.
Lord, we thank Thee for Thy
comfort and consolation that
strengens us in the hours of sor
row and bereavement. We
know that we could never en
idure all the‘sorrows and triads
j of life if it were not for the pre
Isence of Thy comforting spirit
! and the aid of Thy soothing
, consolation.
Lord, we thank Thee that
Thou hast preserved our lives
up to present time, insomuch
as to see and realize another
Thanksgiivng day.
Oh, Supreme God, trough con
flict and war Thou hast brougt
us in every critical condition:
Thou hast stood by us and
shielded us from Ihe sword of
our enemies, holding our lives
and their safety in Thy strong
hand.
Lord, we would ask Thee to
still permit us to live, if it be
according to Thy will and pur
pose.
Lord, we thank Thee for our
prosperity We know that Thou
givest unto us all that we have
and for every success we thank
Thee. Oh. heavenly Father,
still continue to prosper us in
each and everything we do.
Lord, we thank Thee that
Thou lovest thine own and
beareth with them in their
weakness. Still continue Thy
love, oh God,
Lord, we thank Thee for the
true gift of Thine only beloved
and begotten son, Jesus Christ
who came into the world, suf
fered, bled and died on the rug
ged cross for our sins, and rose
victorious over death for our
redemption and justification.
We praise Thee, oh Lord, and
thank Thee more and more for
Thy love and glorious gift to
the world was a means of our
salvation.
Oh Lord, in conclusion, we be
seech Thee to receive and ac
cept our thanks, and continue
Thy blessings in the future as
Thou hast in the past.
These thanks we ' offer to
Thee and in Thy name—Amen
Present Buick Motor Models of
New and Improved Designs.
On August first of this year,
the Buick Motor company an
nounced their 1921 models, com
prising seven distinct jobs, in
cluding roadster, five and seven
passenger open type cars and a
coupe, live and seven passenger
sedan, in the enclosed designs,
The 1921 models are distinctive
in dtsign, and have incorporated
more than thirty distinctive me
chanical improvtments, besides
innumerable minor changes and
refinements, all addintr to the
comfort and convenience of the
operator, insuring more econom
ical upkeep and longer lasting
qualities. '
“Beyond a doubt,” says Mr.
Roy P. Otwell of the Cumming
duick company, local Buick deal
er, “the new Buick line offers
the best product of the past
twenty years of Buick manufac
ture, Besides Buick is one of but
few manufactures who are offer
ing the public 1921 series; cars of
distinctive improvements, at a
pi ice unusually low when com
pared with the mechanical excel
lence of the product.”
Another point which Mr. Ot
well says is being stressed now
is the fact that Buick represents
a standard in the motorcar man
ufacturing field, ard the re sale
value is such that many prospec
tive buyers give this feature
when purchasing more consider
ation than in the past.
The new Buick line offers pleas
ing body lines, leather uphostler
y, new style cushion springs, im
proved timing gears, front and
rear fenders of new crown and
bead design and many other im
portant improvements.
A trade is a good thing to have,
it is better than gold—brings a ]
larger premium. But to make a
oremium, the trade must be per
feet—no silver plated affair. De
termine in your mind to be a good
workman, or let the job out. j
Learning a trade is different
from eating mush and milk
mechanical education does not
slip down without chewing.
Never slight your work, never. 1
Every job you do is a sign. Poor
signs are against success.

OUR GIRLS.
They are just two things
that will keep girls straight at
| the ago when they begin to
I think of longer dresses, and
| beaux. One is plain clothes and
the other is home duties. The
I girls we see making fools o f
themselves are almost invaria
bly over-dressed. They wear
duds that women of thirty
should hesitate about wearing.
A little girl with too many
and too costly clothes on her
back gets self-conscious and
vain and loves admiration—
and you grown-ups know the
next step. A simple, pure heart
ed girl who has a place in a
home, home work and home du
ties, has her heart there, and
no boy can steal it. Even when
maturity comes and a real man
comes, and a real affair of her
heart comes, will such a girl
leave home, and then only af
ter a heart-rending. But a girl
who is at home only at the ta
ble and late bed time won’t
love that home. Work makes
things sacred. The child whose
home memories are not hallow
ed by work, who is not needed,
and does not feel the need, will
not love home. And if she does
not love the home of her girl
hood she will love no other.
The mothers of this town
who are responsible for the girl
who gads on the streets should
stop and think what they are
doing. These girls are no long
er children. They are at an im
pressionable age. Where will
you have their impressions to
come from —from the riff-raff
of the streets or from home? It
is for the mothers of this town
to settle the question.
We heard of one of young
i mail making sport of religion
| in front of our ollice the other
day. His mustache had ji-v be
gin to sprout and judging from
his talk his mental faculties
weren’t as well develoed as his
mustache. During our brief
stay upon earth we have seen
many just such young men
cold in death We have seen the
atheist at rest in his casket,but
before being consigned to their
last resting place they have all
been carried through the doors
of a church and had prayers
said over them. This young fcl
low could scoff at religion in
his strength and beauty at
health, but if the dark angel
should get after him he would
instinctively regret what he
said and look into the future
with fear and trembling. When
one stands before the open
door of eternity his desire to
scoff at religion vanishes. We
admit there are bad men in the
church, but even these black
sheep in the flock might be
blacker if thy were outside. No
young man, or old one either,
should condemn the noble ef-
forts, the army of Christian wo
men and men are making to
ward bettering the condition
of things, and whether we at
tend church or not but few of
us would desire to live in a com
munity w r here there was no
church. Young man, in the fu
ture, if you must scoff at relig
ion, please get a little further

MOTHER.
There is one form sacred in
memory’s gallery, one face
which time can never erase. It
is that of our mother, the dear,
gentle, compassionate mother,
who loved us ere we knew
what love was, and taught us
the right ere we knew the
wrong. She sang us to sleep in
the innocence of childhood and
awoke us with loving kisses on
the bright mornings of long a
go. Her eyes beamed with joy
as she blessed us at life’s dawn
ing and spoke a tender fare
well, as the life sun went down
She watched us to school in the
summer sun and taught us our
lessons by the wintry fireside.
From childhood’s morn to man
hood’s hour she was ever at our
hand to soothe and console and
when at last we must go forth
from the old home and fireside
how tenderly and affectionate
ly she caressed us and kissed
us good-bye—then waited and
hoped and prayed that ad
would be well. From first : *
last her love was the same—
knew no bounds. With cheer;
for the right, tears for wron; .
she was happy in our joys, sad
in our sorrows and she washcu
away our errors in the flooded
rivulets of the soul. Her con
science was her guide and hi •
family her greatest joy. She
loved her home more than gl.c
tering fashion and sought hon
or in the conscienceness of do
ing good.
THE NEEDS OF THE YOUNG
Your children are apt to think
that what you do is right. The/
have no ideal of truth or right
eousness but yourself. Things
which you do, knowing at th :
time to be wrong, they take t >
be right. They reason this way:
“Father always does right. Fa
ther did this. Therefore this js
light.” That is good logic but
bad premises. No one ever get s
over havin' had a bad example
I set him. Your conduct more
jthan your teaching make im
pression. Your laugh, your
frown, your dress, your walk,
your greetings, your good byes
your comings, your goings,
your habits at the table, the
lone of your voice are making
impressions which will last a
million years after you arc
dead and the sun will be extin
guished and the mountains will
crumble and the world will die
and eternity will roll on in per
petual cycles, but thefe will be
I no diminuation of the force of
your conduct upon the young
I eyes that saw’ it or the young
i ars that heard it.
How is your six-weeks old re
solution, does it stick? Now, if
you happen to slip, jump up in
stead of giving it up. Be on the
‘ try“ instead of on the ‘yield’
and the end of the year will
find you stronger, better, of a
lighter heart and somewhat im
perfect, than if you “declare
there’s no use,’’ and fall com
pletely back in the old way
thick with the bogs of ‘bad hab
its.’
IF YOU THINK IT, SAY IT.
If anything pleases your eye
or palate or adds to your enjoy
merit of life in any w r ay, say so.
It is not fair to expect any one
to work for your pleasure and
then take it lor granted that
you are pleased, when, per
haps, neither words, looks or
actions express anything of the
kind.
It is bad enough to expect
grown people to understand
your feelings, but in mercy to
the children do give them the
word of praise which their ef
forts to help or please you de
serves.
It is not only right but good
policy as well to know this.
You have only to watch the
face of a child when it has tri
ed to help you give it the word
of praise or thanks which it de
serves and watch the lighting
in]) of the little face, then take
j note of its actions and very
soon you will see that it is watc
thing for an opportunity to do
[something else for you;and if
you ask the favor how willing
ly the little feet and hands do
the bidding. On the other hand
take their efforts as a matter
of course and see the face show
how keenly the neglect is felt.
While human nature remains
what it is, a word of apprecia
tion will never be lost on old
or young, and is one of the best
paying investments which - can
be made. Some say, “I don’t
care whether they like it or
not,” but that is all nonsense
for man, woman or child; we
every one of us feel our heart
grow warm under merited
i praise, and if we get a little
more of it than we deserve,
I which rarely hapens in this
world, we try to deserve more
next time.
